Countdown to Expo 2025 – Sponsored by WightFibre
With less than a week to go, excitement is building for the Isle of Wight Chamber Business Expo 2025 – proudly sponsored by WightFibre. As the Island’s biggest day for networking event, Expo is a must-attend highlight of the local business calendar.
Presented by the Isle of Wight Chamber of Commerce, this year’s Expo will take place on Wednesday 9th July 2025, in the grounds of Ryde School. Building on the success of last year’s event, Expo 2025 promises more opportunities than ever before, thanks to expanded marquee space and even more exhibitors.
Expo opens from 10am to 4pm for everyone, and is free-to-attend – you do not need to be a Chamber member to join the day. Visitors are welcome to drop in at any time.
“It remains the Chamber’s biggest business networking event of the year, and in 2025, we’re delighted to be returning to the stunning grounds of Ryde School, a venue that perfectly captures the energy and ambition of the day,” says IW Chamber CEO Steven Holbrook.
“Once again, we’re proud to be supported by our headline sponsor, WightFibre. Their backing helps us deliver an event of this scale and quality, and we couldn’t do it without them. There’s nothing else quite like Expo on the Island. More than 70 businesses coming together under one (metaphorical) roof, all with a shared goal: to connect, collaborate, and celebrate what’s possible when we work together.
“Hundreds of visitors will pass through, making new contacts, sparking ideas, and having real conversations that can turn into real results. No one else on the Island brings the business community together at this scale, and certainly not with this much energy. That’s the power of the Isle of Wight Chamber of Commerce. For a single person to meet this many businesses in one day would be unthinkable. But through Expo, it happens, because we believe in the value of connection.”
WightFibre CEO John Irvine adds:
“We look forward to connecting with as many businesses as possible at the IW Chamber Business Expo 2025. Entry is free to visitors, and you don’t have to be an IW Chamber member to attend – everyone is welcome!
“This is a brilliant opportunity to engage with the Island’s business community and chat with people from businesses of all sizes and sectors. The Expo is back at Ryde School and proudly supported by WightFibre. It’s the biggest business networking day of the year, with hundreds of attendees and a wide range of exhibiting businesses. We hope to see you there!”
Join us at Expo 2025 on Wednesday 9th July and be part of a unique day of business, connection and community.
